The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America by Bill Bryson
2.0
In the years since, Bill Bryson has written many books, all of them better than this one.
Unless you like to read the complaints of a 30-something curmudgeon who is visiting the land of his birth after living in Britain for several years, I recommend any other book he has written.
Seriously he’s a great author in my opinion. Funny, hysterical even. This was just one very long complaint about how he didn’t get what he wanted, when he got what he wanted it wasn’t good, or his general disappointment of the whole country and everyone in it. And it took over a month for me to read it. I got through Brothers Karamazov faster.
